maybe someone can help me understand beacuse i’ve never worked in an office, but how is this allowed? outside of a very small company i can’t see how someone doesn’t have a problem with it, whether it be distracting, they don’t like dogs, plus potential for bathroom accidents and destruction of property. I’d love to be able to take my dog to work, but i’m pretty sure i’d be fired immediately.

It doesn’t work in all offices, but some companies are more relaxed than others. Even big companies often have smaller office enclaves where the occasional dog in the office is a relaxing treat. Most dog owners survey for allergies or annoyance levels. We enjoy the visits in my office.

I’ve found that it’s rare in the US. When I lived in San Francisco, there was a TV station whose owner would bring his dog to work, and he allowed his employees to do the same. Eventually the employees dogs were featured in the station’s ads, and then they expanded it to include viewer’s dogs. It was quite an honor to have your dog selected as a ‘TV20 dog’. 🙂
